The police tell us they are here to protect us. But what if their original purpose was something else altogether? Peabody Award-winning host Chenjerai Kumanyika takes listeners on a journey to uncover the hidden history of the largest police force in the world – from its roots in slavery, to rival police gangs battling across the city, to everyday people who resisted every step of the way. As our society debates where policing is going, Empire City: The Untold Origin Story of the NYPD explores where the police came from. From Wondery, Crooked Media and PushBlack. Follow Empire City: The Untold Origin Story of the NYPD on the Wondery App or wherever you listen to your podcasts. You can binge all episodes early and ad-free on Wondery+.

An important perspective
15 thg 12
This podcast offers an important perspective on policing in the USA and its dubious origins. A perspective important to all people on the political spectrum if they truly wish to improve policing in America. If you’re blinded by the blanket belief all policing is good, you probably won’t like this. But if you’re willing to listen and learn on that topic, it is a great podcast. Give it a listen
Great podcast

I learned about the slave patrol in college and the origin of law enforcement
Great, yet highly leading
11 thg 12
The host is clearly invested and passionate about the topic, and has taken great pains to research it. However, the research and presentation is clearly prepared to the goal of abolishing law enforcement. The research clearly points to insights and problems in law enforcement, but is not strong enough to hide a thinly hidden motive not fully supported by the evidence presented.
I love you Chenjerai!

While much of this story is truly terrible to behold, Chenjerai helps us through it masterfully. He is funny, smart, very wise, and has a beautiful voice. Everyone on any side of the debate on policing, from the skeptics, the defenders, to the ambivalent, should listen to this show.
